China's Xi calls for greater inclusion of women in governance

BEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) -Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called for greater representation for women in politics and government at a global women's summit in Beijing, a move he said would ensure that gender equality is "truly internalised" within society. The two-day "Global leaders meeting on women", held in conjunction with UN Women, seeks to further advance women's development globally, gender equality and the well-rounded development of women, authorities said. Peace and stability are prerequisites for women's all-round development, Xi said.
